SUPPORT FOR LAVATORIES, &o.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 5, 1911.

Application filed February 8, 1911. Serial No. 606,806.

for Lavatories, &c., of which the" following is a specification.

Thls invention relates to hangers or supports for lavatories, wash bowls, sinks and the like, and has for its object to provide an improved deviceby means of which the basin of the lavatory maybe suppo ted on or ot ier external supports, the ban or ing adapted for attachment to the stu ding or other art of the wall where it will be conceals by the back board oFthe lavatory.

A further object of the invention is to rovide improved means for leveling the avatory or sink, or adjusting the some to anydungle or to such position as may be de sire The structure embodies a frame which is fastened to the wall of the lavatory, and hinged arms for supporting the bowl and associated parts.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of the hanger with the lavatory or sink removed. Fig. 2 is a vertical section with the lavatory bowl in place.

Referring specifically to the drawings, 6 indicates the studding of an ordinary wall,

7 the plaster and 8 the tile or external finish.

The tile and pliister are finished around the lavatory after the latter is set up.

The hunger comprises a back plate made in two sections indicated at 9, preferably of metal, which may be adjusted laterally with respect to each other according to the width of the lavatory or sink to be supported, the sections being slotted as at 10 to receive bolts 11 to hold them as set. This lateral adjust ment varies the width of the back plate as desired. The lavatory bowl is shown at 12 and the to or table surroundin the same at 13 and t e back board or splasi board at 14, these parts being molded of earthenware or metal as usual. At each end of the lava.- tory top it is cored out as indicated at 15, to receive a. tubular arm 16, which may consist of a piece of pipe of proper size to fit in the recess 15. T is pipe is screwedat side the studding its rear end into a hinge piece 1? which is connected by pivot 18 to reinforcing ribs 19 which in practice will be set between or be 6. The back plate is fas tened to the stu dinghy screws 20, and the hinge piece 17 projects through an opening 21 1n t e back plate and the arms extend out III position to support the lavatory basin, to which they are secured by set; screws 22' It will be understood that there is one of these arms at each side of the bowl;

The back part or board of the lavatory is attached to the ban r by means of clamps 23 which slide in ungiircut guides 24 formed on the face of the plate 9, and these clam" engage at their upper ends infront of hoofi 25 near the upper edge of the back board, as clearlv shown in Fig. 2. The clam s are ,forced to engagement by bolts 26 which are threaded throu l1 lugs 27 on the front-oi the plate 9 an by turning the bolts the clumps are forced upwardly to hook into the back board.

Inorder to set the lavatory at the desired angle or level the hinged arms 16 may be raised or lowered by means of bolts 30 which extend through openings in the hinge pieces 17 and screw rlIltO lugs 31 formed on the face otthe hanger plate. It will be seen that by manipulation of the screws 30 either arm 16 may be swung u' or down on its pivot 18, and either or avatory top will be raised or lowered accordingly and when the clamps 23 are fixed the set screws 22 are finally tightened to bind the lavatory in position. After the th sides of the lavatory is'set up in the manner indicated the tile are finished around the same, thereby completely concealing the hon r, the lavatory being thus supported by t e arms 16 in connection or association with the clamps 23.

By the means described, lavatorie sinks and similar structures may be rigid y and firmly supported the exact posit-ion desired.

Although illustrated in connection with a lavatory having a back the invention is ca.- pable of use with a lavator or-sink having no back. In this case the clamps at the top of the back are omitted and the lavatory or the like is supported wholly b the arms 16, being clamped thereto by and or the like as indicated at 23., The su ort aflorded by a. pair of these arms wi' be able set screw found entirely sufficient, the use of legsbein avoided.

aving thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A support for a basin or the like, comprising a plate adapted to be fastened to a wall or the like, a fastening mounted on said plate in position to engage the back of the basin, and arms fiprojectln plate and arranged to t under t e basin top and support the same said arms being pivoted to the plate and adapted to be raised or lowered as desired, and means to fix the arms in desired position.

2. A an port for a basin or the like, comprising a back plate adapted to be fastened to a well, said plate havmg guides thereon, clamps slidable in said guides and adapted to engage the back piece of the basin, and screws mounted on the plate and bearing against the clamps to advance and hold the same in such engagement.

3. A support for a basin or the like, comprising a. back plate adapted to be fastened to a Wall, arms pivoted to said plate and projecting) forwardly into position to support the asin, and means mounted on the from the.

plate to raise or lower the arms and to hold same in adjusted position.

4. The combination with a, basin or the like having recesses in the top art thereof, a back plate verticall adjustadle arms fastened to said plate an extending forwardly into the recesses to support the basin, and a vertically adjustable clamp mounted on the plate and engaging the back part of the basin.

5. The combination with a basin or the like having recesses in the top part thereof, aback plate, arms fastened to said plate and extending forwardly into the recesses to support the basin, a clamp mounted on the plate and engaging u wardly in the back part of the basin, an set screws between the basin top and the arms, pressing downwardly on the basin, in opposition to the clamp, whereby, the basin 1s in tension between the clamp and set screws.

In testimony whereof, I do aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
